A vintage Turkish rug with a colourful new life

Elte’s Second Life rugs ($545–$2,565) are a great way to bring a pop of colour to the home: they can pretty up a masculine black and white space, or add interest to a neutral palette. Each piece is recycled from a traditional Turkish rug over 40 years old, which is stripped of its colour and given new life with a modern-day dye job. The rugs are available in a range of sizes, from three-by-five feet to six-by-nine feet, and a rainbow of colours.
